Outstanding!

Mr. Colman represented me in a high profile case in the County of Merced. I was referred to him by another attorney who could no longer represent me. Mr. Coleman quickly met with me and discussed how he could help me. I immediately felt that my case was in good hands. Mr. Coleman demonstrated prof...essionalism, knowledge and commitment to my case. I highly recommend Mark Coleman and his law firm. Thank you and your staff for your hard work.

Litigation lawyer | Sep 25

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I wholeheartedly endorse Mr. Coleman. Mark is one of those rare Litigation attorneys that is skilled in multiple legal subject areas. He is highly respected in the legal community for both Civil Litigation, and Criminal Defense Litigation. Moreover, I've worked with him before on a case that went to Trial, and so I know that he and his experienced staff do an excellent job. He truly fights for his clients. I would have no hesitation at all sending clients to him as I know they will be taken good care of by him and his experienced staff. To say that I endorse Mark and his office would be an understatement."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
